A house sale, and the agency issue underneath

7 July 2023Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked about selling her house via Qi Men Dun Jia. I told her the exclusive agency had too many small tricks.

The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

Zongyuan, can you do a Qi Men reading for this? [emoji]
老师,可以奇门看吗[emoji]
Zongyuan

Current setup: ⏎ Guimao [redacted] ⏎ The outer plate shows Bi Jie (parallel influence), which means homogeneous competition, and that the current property market is not hot. ⏎ The day stem Bing sits in the Kan palace in fu yin (repeating position), with Peng and Xiu stars. This is a false image of water and fire balancing: the vaporized wealth will have losses, meaning there will be price bargaining in the sale, and you will close the deal after making certain concessions. ⏎ The hour stem has two Dings in the Kun trigram, meaning the house is large, and the decoration is traditional and antique. Two Xins restrain partial wealth: among the villas in that area, this one is relatively high-end, and the final sale price will be above average. ⏎ A few questions: ⏎ 1. Is it an exclusive agency? ⏎ The Xun palace has punishment and emptiness, which often means hidden agendas. The previous Tai Sui is also punished, suggesting market games—for example, after taking the agency, they bring their acquaintances to pay a deposit, but delay the transfer until the market warms up to make a price difference profit. I do not recommend this. It is better to list with several big agencies, with names containing metal radicals (like the 'jin' radical or 'li dao' radical). Lianjia is one; you can find others locally.
当下立柱: 癸卯 [redacted] 外盘见比劫,主同质化竞争,也主当下大环境楼市并不热烈。 日干丙于坎宫伏吟,见蓬休,为水火既济之虚像,气化之财必有损耗,主买房有讨价还价之事态,且你在做了一定让步之后成交。 时干双丁入坤卦,主屋宅大,也主装修偏传统古色古香,见双辛为克制偏财,在那一片的别墅里,算是偏高档的,最后成交价值也高于均值。 几个问题: 1 是否独家代理 见巽击刑逢空,多有阴私,且见前太岁被刑,玩市场游戏,例如代理后找了他们的熟人来看房付定金,但久久不过户,等市场回暖再取得赚差价等,赚市场红利,不建议操作,建议多代理几个大牌中间,名字里面带金,比如金字旁,利刀旁。"链家"算一个,其他的当地可以再找。

That's why I wasn't sure if it was reliable and was afraid of getting a bad deal. I wanted to ask you to feel more at ease [emoji]
所以不知道靠不靠谱怕吃亏,想着问问你心里踏实[emoji]
Zongyuan
Too many small tricks.
